Puppet pins are cool, new advanced puppet pins are cooler and you can do some non-typical stuff with them that can save you some time. This tutorial will show you a quick way to move parts of a single layer around as though they were separate layers. Pretty neat!!!
Also, you MUST check out the Keyframes Conference. I'll be doing some training there and I'm super excited.

I love sine waves, and in Adobe After Effects there are a number of ways to do them, This tutorial I'll will cover 4 ways, 1 with a plugin, and 3 with expressions.

This After Effects tutorial is more of an expression exploration. showing off some cool marker triggers to trigger a wiggle. Watch the tutorial to see what it can do and dig into the code linked below.
The expression code (youtube won't let me post code for some reason)

An odd situation where you need something that is transparent to pretend that it is not. This tutorial will show a neat little work around to creating this cave painting type look in animation form.

This weeks tutorial is a bit different, not in content, but in author. We have a guest author showing off his skills. A big hardy welcome to Nels, with a tutorial on sine waves and triangle. Make sure to give him some love in the comments and reach out.

Prepare for a long tutorial. In this After Effects tut, I'll go over the start to finish on preparing/creating/and rigging up a shape layer preset. Specifically a sign or a callout. This auto links with whatever text layer you want, and is all around really great. Anyways, its long, but I don't hold anything back, you see the whole process.

If you've ever used the mosaic effect in after effects, I'm 99% sure you've encountered this problem. you want it square, but its not. This quick 4.5 minute tutorial will show you how to do it. using some simple expressions.
THE EXPRESSION
h=thisLayer.height*(thisLayer.scale[1]/100);
w=thisLayer.width*(thisLayer.scale[0]/100);
effect("Mosaic")("Horizontal Blocks")*(h/w)

Expressions in After Effects can help automate a bunch of stuff. This quick tip is writing an expression that will auto scale the layer style stoke to stay in sync with the scale of the layer.
